Soilwork

i think nu metal is not a need to evolve but a need of money!

OK, that's your opinion, I respect it, I hope you respect mine

Korn kind of invented the nu metal sound. And really, I do like their music a bit, but the lyrics and presentation turn me away. So while I may consider the trend as a whole to not be worth the paper I wipe my ass with, a moden metal influence isn't really bad.

Fuck, i think the term Nu-metal is used too freely. It's like people using a word with no idea as to what it means.

Any way.

Soilwork!!

I think they're horrible. Their old stuff is a complete At the Gates rip-off, yet it's still better than NBC because now they sound like a nu-metal verison of a swedish metal band! They're so.....bad....

They are NOT bad.

You can NOT say that, you are free to like or dislike their music, but one can NOT ignore the expert musicianship present on all of their albums.

And please stop that bullshit nu metal comparison, adding some staccato riffs or powerchords doesn't mean it's nu metal. Every time a band turns a bit more accessable these days, they are accused of turning nu metal, BULLSHIT!

Oh, and since ATG have been mentioned, allow me to state the following.








At The Gates FUCKING RULED.







That is all.

I think they're bad. Get the fuck over it.

And their sound does have a nu feel to it now. Atleast to me, I'm not putting them in the same ranks as Korn or anything, I'm just saying...
But I think they're a shitty band, if you don't, well... good for you.

it has no nu metal feel to it. just because the band got softer doesnt mean they have a nu metal feel.

and from chainheart machine to the new album, they were not similar to at the gates at all..... their style of riffs is totally different.

 

[forest of october]

when did I say their nu feel came from being softer?

 

[Battman]

Excellent work as usual. My question is do you still have the Room 99 video kicking around? I know it was part of the opeth bootleg site, but that went down.

I think the at the gates rip off note is quite amusing. of ALL THE AT THE GATES rip off bands Soilwork owned them all. better melodies, tigher musicianship, and a much more kick ass rhythm section.

Pah, the only similarities between At The Gates and Soilwork are the first Soilwork album (and perhaps a bit of Chainheart), and the last At The Gates album, Slaughter of the Soul. Two different bands, both had one album that sounded similar.

Everything else At The Gates did sounds nothing like everything else Soilwork has done.
